Tattoo parlours overseas may not have the same health standards as we have here in Australia. There is a risk of contracting diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, as well as other skin infections. Vaccinations are available against hepatitis B, but not for the other diseases.Talk to your doctor before you go.
Avoid any tattooing that involves unsterile or reused equipment. Also try to avoid getting temporary black henna tattoos as they contain a dye that can cause serious skin reactions.
